Getting a hair transplant at 21-22? (Photo)

June 1, 2015
Asked By:gkay224 in Pennsylvania, PA

So, I'm 21 and I noticed at about 18 that I started balding. I'm guessing it started much earlier though as I had long hair and couldn't really notice other than I had a receded hairline already. It's getting pretty bad and I was curious if it would even be something I should consider. I pretty much have the same hairline/thinning already as my father and he's 51. Bald spots/receded hairline but not the horseshoe bald. Here are a few pictures

Answer: A hair transplant is not advised for rapid hair loss at your age. There are options to stop further hair loss and thicken hair
